There’s a charged hush before a scream. That tension pulses through every crack and hiss of Siichaq’s sophomore album, Catcher—a slow-burning, grunge-tinged mosaic of introspection, ephemeral beauty, and raw edge.

Some stories are written in studio lights, others in sweat and grit. For Gavin Copeland, a Louisiana-born and Texas-raised rising soul singer, music wasn’t the obvious path—it was the one whispered by life’s struggles, long before he had the courage to follow it.

Released July 8 via […]| Mundane
